People often ask me for suggestions about how to learn English． As for it， everyone is different． I'll share some of my experience． I once took a school year English course in Wuhan University， but I mostly learned English on my own．

One thing I can tell you is that， once you've started learning， you should try to think in English as much as you can． If you see something when you're riding your bike or walking down the street， just think about "How would I say them in English？ At first， it might be with simple words or phrases， but later you should think about longer phrases and sentences． Now I'm in America， and for most of the time， I would think in English and speak it directly， It's amazing how much this helps．

For several years after I started learning， I was often afraid of talking with others in English because I didn't want to make mistakes． Finally I got it over． And while traveling in America， I'd try to hang out with friends who couldn't speak Chinese， so that I'd have no choice but to speak English． And I also decided that if I said something stupid and other people laughed at me， then so be it． After that， my English started improving much more quickly．

Besides， it may be a good idea to ask your American friends to look at the way you're writing， and give you some suggestions for improvement．

Drriinnggg! That's the sound that kids all over the country hate to hear﹣the alarm bell． The new school year has just started and children across the UK have to wake up early in the morning to go to school．

But students at one school in north﹣east England are lucky． They can lie in bed for an extra（额外的）hour before they go to school． Monkseaton High School has been allowing its pupils to come into school an hour later than other schools．

The headmaster， Dr． Paul Kelley， says that this new approach（手段） helps students pay more attention to their lessons in class． He feels that young people are more energetic and can perform better for the rest of the day． And he adds that for their school students， a late start at school may be better than an early one．

Dr． Kelley tells the BBC that teenagers don' t perform very well in the morning and their need to sleep is biological（生物的）．

It seems that this new approach to teaching shows positive（积极乐观的） results． The number of students who sleep in class drops quickly． Besides， the school has already seen a drop in the number of pupils who play truant（逃学）by 27%． More importantly， Dr． Kelley also says that exam results have improved by 20%﹣30% over the past year．

Two weeks ago， on a hot summer afternoon， I was about to cross a little busy road when I noticed an old grandpa with a heavy bag on his back just a few meters from me． He walked painfully and it looked as if his legs had no strength to even（1）c　　him． A few minutes later， I realized I'd forgotten to cross the road． And he'd seen me looking at him．

I loved my grandparents very much． That was why I didn't（2）f　　to smile at the old people whenever I saw them． Now I met this grandpa， I didn't want to（3）m　　the chance， either． He moved slowly to me and handed me a note． There was an address written on it． As it was a long way and anybody would pass out（昏倒）in such weather， I didn't want him to walk all the way． So I showed him the（4）d　　and said he would need a taxi． hearing this he shook his head again and again and that made me feel a little（5）d　　．

Then I asked where he came from， he replied（6）w　　that he was from the countryside about 10kilometers from here and came to visit a relative． I was shocked because he never looked as if he could take even two steps without（7）f　　． So， without a second thought I called a taxi for him． The grandpa wasn't（8）r　　for the ride， for he had no money． I paid for his（9）j　　 and asked the driver to drop him at hisplace safely．

When I turned to look at the grandpa who said thanks to me with a few drops of happy tears on his face， many unforgettable（10）m　　of my grandparents flashed in my mind， making me feel like crying．
